Acute adductor injuries are a common occurrence in sport. The overall incidence of adductor strains across 25 college sports was 1.29 injuries per 1000 exposures, with men's soccer (3.15) and men's hockey (2.47) having the highest incidences. As with most muscle strains there is a high rate of recurrence for adductor strains; 18% in professional soccer and 24% in professional hockey. Effective treatment, with successful return to play, and avoidance of reinjury, can be achieved with a proper understanding of the anatomy, a thorough clinical exam yielding an accurate diagnosis, and an evidence-based treatment approach, including return to play progression.

Article Synopsis
- Adductor longus muscle strains are common injuries in sports like soccer, and this study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a specific rehabilitation program for injured players.
- The study involved 11 male professional soccer players, analyzing their recovery time to return to full training and competition, as well as their performance before and after injury.
- Results showed a quick recovery, averaging 11.91 days to return to training and 15.36 days to competition, with significant improvements in key performance metrics post-injury, indicating the program was highly effective.

Objective: Superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) function is critical to laryngeal sensation. Sensory dysfunction in the larynx, mediated through the internal branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (iSLN), is thought to occur with aging and neurodegenerative disease. However, objective analysis of iSLN neurophysiology is difficult due to its anatomic location and small diameter.

The mammalian skull is very malleable and has notably radiated into highly diverse morphologies, fulfilling a broad range of functional needs. Although gnawing is relatively common in mammals, this behavior and its associated morphology are diagnostic features for rodents. These animals possess a very versatile and highly mechanically advantageous masticatory apparatus, which, for instance, allowed caviomorph rodents to colonize South America during the Mid-Eocene and successfully radiate in over 200 extant species throughout most continental niches.

(1) Background: The objective of this systematic review was to collect relevant data in the available contemporary studies about sports injuries of basketball players and explain differences in sports injuries relative to gender, location, sport, and position on the court; (2) Methods: The papers were searched digitally using PubMed, MEDLINE, ERIC, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect databases, from 1990 to 2024; (3) Results: The most frequent severe injuries for both genders are knee and ankle injuries and the most frequent forms of injury are ankle sprain and ligament strain. The most frequent injuries occur during running and after contact with the ball. Shooting guards sustain the highest injury rate followed by centers and point guards, while guards have the highest rate of adductor muscle injury; and (4) Conclusions: Studies indicate that ankle and knee injuries are prevalent among basketball players, with ankle sprains being particularly prevalent.

Purpose Of Review: Hip injuries in elite athletes are an increasingly recognized problem and range from chronic overuse injuries, such as adductor strains and labral tears, to acute traumatic injuries such as hip dislocations. In this article, we review common hip pathology experienced by elite athletes and sideline management of emergent hip injuries.
Recent Findings: Elite athletes are subject to unique physical and mental stresses and therefore must be evaluated and treated in a unique manner.
